GEOCASHING

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

When on Geocaching.com, do a search of local caches using your postal code. You will be absolutly amazed how many caches are within 10 Km of your house.

It is a quite nice activity, great to do as a familly or with friends. All caches have two degree of dificulty. One for the terrain and one for the cache itself. Kids love it.

If you spend some time Geocaching I guarantee you will be taken to some incredible places, close to your home, that you would have never known about otherwise.

It's also a good activity to do with your family or significant other.. gets everyone out of the house and they'll love the treasure finding aspect of it.
